Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) ramped up the pressure this week to expel Rep. Cory Mills (R-S.C.) from Congress, claiming that his "days are numbered."

Mace introduced the resolution on Monday to push her Republican colleague out the House, further stating that Congress has kept wrong-doings quiet for too long.

"The swamp has protected Cory Mills for far too long and we are done letting it slide," Mace said in a statement. "We tried to censure him and strip him from his committee assignments. Both parties blocked it, but we are not backing down."

The House Ethics Committee in November 2025 launched a wide-ranging investigation into Mills, including whether he violated campaign finance laws, misused congressional resources, and engaged in sexual misconduct or dating violence.

Mace, at the time, had offered a privileged resolution to censure Mills and strip him from his committee assignments on the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees.

The congresswoman has pointed out that the House Ethics probe has been ongoing since August 2024.

"The evidence against Mills is overwhelming: beating women and telling them to lie about it, cyberstalking women, lying about his military service, and profiting off his seat. Any Member who votes to keep him here is voting to protect a woman beater and a fraud. He needs to be expelled immediately."

But the Ethics Committee also noted that the mere fact that an investigative subcommittee was formed to look into the accusations does not indicate that any violation has occurred.

Mills has denied any wrongdoing. In response, he pointed out that he has no current restraining orders or any open civil or criminal cases.

Mills was first elected to Congress in 2022, representing a district that includes the Orlando and Daytona Beach areas. He is currently serving his second term in Congress.

Three high-profile resignations have shaken up Capitol Hill in the last few weeks.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) officially resigned from Congress on Tuesday after a House Ethics Committee found she violated more than two dozen House ethics rules and standards. The Florida Democrat announced her resignation just moments before a hearing in which lawmakers would consider her penalty.

McCormick is also facing federal criminal charges for allegedly stealing $5 million in COVID-19 disaster relief funds for her own personal use. Her criminal trial is expected to begin in February 2027 and she has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

In addition to McCormick Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) resigned from Congress following sexual misconduct allegations.
